[ Upstream commit 77bb2f204f1f0a53a602a8fd15816d6826212077 ]

There is one one corner case at dma_fence_signal_locked
which will raise the NULL pointer problem just like below.
->dma_fence_signal
->dma_fence_signal_locked
->test_and_set_bit
here trigger dma_fence_release happen due to the zero of fence refcount.

->dma_fence_put
->dma_fence_release
->drm_sched_fence_release_scheduled
->call_rcu
here make the union fled âcb_listâ at finished fence
to NULL because struct rcu_head contains two pointer
which is same as struct list_head cb_list

Therefore, to hold the reference of finished fence at drm_sched_process_job
to prevent the null pointer during finished fence dma_fence_signal

v2: hold the finished fence at drm_sched_process_job instead of
amdgpu_fence_process
v3: resume the blank line
